Oh, right. Those famous EU Schrödinger emigration laws that let in 30 million people while simultaneously not letting you - specifically - get in.
I'm sure that's your real reason for you not to follow your own advice. Advice that you feel the need to give other people when they don't want to indulge in your socialist fantasies...
I'll assume you meant "immigration". The US's emigration laws would apply to me.
If I wasn't a US citizen, and my goal wasn't to gain official, above-board citizenship in an EU-member nation by way of doing work as a programmer, system administrator, or other such similar job, then I imagine I would have an easier time getting in, yes. For example, if my place of residence was in a low-cost-of-living country and my intent was to take whatever odd jobs I could get and use the excess to establish a nice nest egg back home, I imagine I'd have a much easier -if far more precarious- time.
Anyway, make sure to keep your grinding wheel well maintained; you seem to make frequent use of it.

Interesting, it's almost like you are telling us you have it better there in the USA. Hypocrisy at its best...
